Request to lower translation requirements for including translation into official release

Hi,

I can of do. But it does not mean I am totally inflexible ;)

It is the problem with thresholds, they have to be set somewhere. And there 
are always people that are slightly bellow, and who are going to be 
disappointed. Currently we have a threshold at 70%, which is lower than the 
KDE one. Is it a good one or bad one, I don't really know, I don't think it is 
possible to evaluate anyway. That is for the objection part.

Now comes the flexible part. We have always granted exception to the 70% rule, 
on a per demand basis, especially in the hope to provide some advertisement to 
the translation team and some motivation. That is why it is by request, since 
it shows to us that you are motivated. So following that principle, I am going 
to add the Czech translation for 2.4. And if for future release, the 
translation is still below 70%, just email us to show that you are still 
interested and motivated to translate calligra.

Note: since the selection of translations is made by a script, and I need to 
override it, I might forget about it, so if you don't see the czech 
translation in a 2.4 release, email me, and I will fix that.
